As an IT admin from a K12 school or district, you can empower your teachers and students with Adobe Express directly within Google Classroom.

Adobe Express is free for K12 teachers and students. It offers a rich set of web and mobile tools designed to unlock student creativity and communication skills. The Adobe Express Google Classroom Add-on allows teachers to:

  • Create Adobe Express project assignments directly from Google Classroom.
  • Customize existing graphics, posters, web pages, and videos for classroom needs.
  • Assign those assets directly to their students from Google Classroom, consistent with their existing workflow.
  • View, grade, and provide feedback on each student’s assets and assignments from within Google Classroom, saving valuable time and providing rich dialogue between teachers and students.
Note:

Even if you already have Adobe Express provisioned for your school or district, you must follow the below steps to assign Adobe Express to your teachers and students.

Enable the Adobe Express Google Classroom Add-On

To unlock this feature for Google Classroom users, the school or district must purchase the Teaching and Learning Upgrade or Education Plus edition of Google Workspace for Education. Then, enable the Adobe Express Classroom add-on for your teachers and students:

K12 schools and districts can request an Admin Console by calling ​​+1-800-685-3638 or contacting a preferred school or district reseller partner. The person who calls to request access to an Admin Console becomes the first system administrator for that new org in the Adobe Admin Console.
